President Washington and Alexander Hamilton set out at the head of 15,000 troops to suppress the "rebellion." The President left the expedition when the rebels scattered. Hamilton pushed on and arrested a few men. They were tried, convicted of treason and sentenced to death. Washington pardoned them, calling them "mental defectives." The military ending was a success, even though a far larger force than necessary was used. Politically, the Federalists were glad for the opportunity to show the national government's right to enforce the law in a state. However, westerners would never vote for a Federalist once the two party system emerged.
